Didn't know they used FedEx. Everything I've got from Amazon has either been Mail or UPS.

FedEx is probably tired of lowering their delivery charges to Amazon. Amazon for the last 2 years has been building their own Air & Ground delivery service. USPS needs to do this to, they are getting lowballed on every delivery ie they are delivering for less that it costs them. The U.S. government better take them to court soon over their monopolistic process.
FedEx will not renew express shipping services for Amazon in U.S.
Posted: 08 Jun 2019
FedEx has made the strategic decision to not renew the FedEx Express U.S. domestic contract with Amazon.com, Inc. as we focus on serving the broader e-commerce market. This decision does not impact any existing contracts between Amazon.com and other FedEx business units or relating to international services. As previously disclosed, Amazon.com is not FedEx’s largest customer. The percentage of total FedEx revenue attributable to Amazon.com represented less than 1.3 percent of total FedEx revenue for the 12-month period ended December 31, 2018.
There is significant demand and opportunity for growth in e-commerce which is expected to grow from 50 million to 100 million packages a day in the U.S. by 2026. FedEx has already built out the network and capacity to serve thousands of retailers in the e-commerce space. We are excited about the future of e-commerce and our role as a leader in it.
